The Tsou people primarily reside in Alishan Township, Chiayi County; some of them can also be found in Xinyi Township, Nantou County. The Tsou people are historically known as Cou, and they are famous for Mayasvi, a festival honoring the war god. There are two kinds of Tsou tribes, hosa and denohiyu; hosa ranks higher than denohiyu and the former possesses kuba (“main hall”) as the symbol of its power. The Tsou society is patriarchic and the basic social unit is family. ]]></note></mads>
